We are convinced that creating safe and comfortable conditions for learning, sports, and youth development should be one of society’s priorities. That is why the foundation consistently supports projects aimed at improving the quality of life for children,” noted Fatalov.
Foundation ambassador Yevgen Koshovyi emphasized the importance of supporting the younger generation.
“Our children are the future of Ukraine. They will study, work, rebuild the country, and bring it glory through their achievements. That is why it is extremely important today to create the best conditions for their development and healthy lives,” he said.

According to Boris Vykhovants, the WAW WATER system is a compact water treatment station with a multi-stage system for purifying, enriching, and structuring water. The unit involves ten sequential stages of filtration and purification to remove mechanical, organic, and other impurities from the water.

The presentation of the Olena Zelenska Foundation, wife of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, took place at a charity evening in New York at the venue presented by the Metropolitan Opera.
As reported on the website of the head of the Ukrainian state on Friday, the Foundation’s primary goal is to restore Ukraine’s human capital “so that every Ukrainian feels physically and mentally healthy, protected, and able to exercise their right to education, work, and build a future in Ukraine.”
“Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, we have managed to do a lot. We have organised 20 convoys of life, which made it possible to evacuate more than 550 children with cancer to hospitals in Europe, the USA and Canada. We hosted the First Ladies and Gentlemen Summit to raise money and purchase more than 80 ambulances. We evacuated children from orphanages for their temporary stay abroad. We provided humanitarian aid to family-type orphanages. But every day brings more and more requests and needs. More funding is needed. That is why I am creating the Foundation. The Foundation will make it possible to significantly scale assistance to people and provide proper treatment and decent education to everyone who needs it,” Olena Zelenska said.
The Foundation has three key directions: medicine, education and humanitarian aid. Within these areas, it will provide targeted assistance, invest in reconstructing preschool and school education institutions, polyclinics and outpatient clinics, and provide grants for training and scientific developments. For anyone interested in learning more about the Foundation, please visit zelenskafoundation.org for more information.
“The war goes on, but so does life. It paves its way to recovery even during the war. The task of the Foundation is to help life win. And for this, we need hospitals, schools, and education,” Olena Zelenska said.
The First Lady noted that global political and business leaders gathered this week for the 77th UN General Assembly in New York. They also became the guests of the charity evening on the occasion of the Foundation presentation. In particular, the event was attended by: former US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs of the United Kingdom James Cleverly, General Manager of the Metropolitan Opera in New York Peter Gelb, American TV host and actor Jimmy Fallon, actor Matt Damon, actress Brooke Shields, as well as a wide circle of diplomats and businessmen. All guests of the charity evening on the occasion of the Foundation presentation could contribute to the reconstruction projects in Ukraine.
The President of Ukraine joined the charity evening remotely from Kyiv. “We are fighting for freedom and protecting our people. We are doing everything possible to engage our friends – friends of freedom – worldwide who are willing to contribute to our struggle,” Volodymyr Zelensky said.
The Mindy Charitable Foundation, together with the Kantar Ukraine research center, intends to conduct a study of mental health of the population in war conditions.
The foundation told Interfax-Ukraine that the study will be carried out with the financial support of the charitable foundation and the volunteer cryptocoin UAFcoin, created by the Ukrainian crypto social network Sl8 (sl8.online) to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The first stage of the study started early August 2022. The respondents of the online survey will be citizens of Ukraine.
“The consequences of war include, in particular, long-term metal damage that in the future may negatively affect society, destroy families and communities, disrupt the development of the social and economic structure of nations. The study will help identify problem areas and improve mental health of the population, which plays a critical role on the way to victory in the war,” the foundation said.
The study will be conducted in Ukrainian cities with a population of more than 50,000 people. The age of the respondents is from 18 to 55 years. Study participants will be randomly selected from a representative sample. A team of Ukrainian psychologists and leading research institutes worked on the study program.
The purpose of this survey is to collect information that will provide answers to the level of formation of a culture of psychological assistance and the needs for its formation and development, to determine the state of mental and social health of Ukrainians. This study will help in the work of volunteer and government organizations that provide support to Ukrainians during the war.
Mindy Charitable Foundation is a charitable foundation that implements a nationwide social and humanitarian program for the reintegration of war victims into active life. The Foundation specializes in psychological aid, physical rehabilitation on the basis of the partner international network of REGUS business centers, support in prosthetics, vocational guidance and training in various industries, employment by quotas and social adaptation.

The Rinat Akhmetov Foundation is the most famous Ukrainian charitable organization, according to a survey conducted by Info Sapiens.
“So, 94.3% of the polled Ukrainians named it without prompting. In second place is the International Committee of the Red Cross (70% named it), in third place is the Pinchuk Foundation (45.3%),” Info Sapiens said in a report on the results of the study released on Friday.
Only those organizations that scored more than 1% of spontaneous knowledge about Ukraine in November-December 2021 were included in the list. It is assumed that if the study were conducted now, the Come Back Alive Foundation and other funds that help the Armed Forces of Ukraine would have made the list, but before the war they scored less than 1% in spontaneous knowledge.
In addition, the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation is the leader in philanthropy in Ukraine. Almost half of Ukrainians consider the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation the largest charitable organization in Ukraine. 76% of Ukrainians positively assess its activities.
